dc.description.abstractSensory innervation of lingual musculature was studied in young adult Wistar rats using retrograde labeling by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and combined silver impregnation and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) methods. Intra-lingual injection of HRP resulted in labeling of neuronal somata in the trigeminal, superior vagal, and second cervical spinal (C,) ganglia. When HRP was directly applied to the proximal stump of severed hypoglossal nerve, labeling occurred only in the cervical and superior vagal ganglia. Morphometric analysis revealed that the labeled neurons were of the smallsized category in all ganglia. However, in the trigeminal and C, ganglia, labeling occurred also among the medium-sized neurons. Combined silver and AchE preparations from lingual muscles revealed the absence of typical muscle spindles. Instead. there, were free and spiral nerve terminals in the interstitium. and epilemmal knob-like or bouton-like endings surrounding non-encapsulated muscle fibers. These terminals showed AchE -ve reaction in contrast to the motor ones. Few ganglionic cells were scattered along the hypoglossal nerve with uniform AchE +ve reaction in their perikarya. This indicates that medium-sized neurons in the trigeminal and C2 ganglia, and probably sensory neurons along the hypoglossal nerve mediate lingual muscle sensibility perceived by atypical sensory terminals.es
